donner analog computer

by dwightk.elvey＠amd.com

Hi Ed Although, I have no specific manuals, these systems are quite easy to work on. I hope that no one has stripped it for tubes or parts. There are many application books published for analog computers. Programming these are almost always similar. I would love to work on bringing yours back to life but am afraid that the distance is a little to great ( I live in Santa Cruz, CA ). Maybe something can be worked out with the Computer History Museum, here in Mountain View ( http://www.computerhistory.org/ ). Some kind of loan or something. I could work on it there, assuming that you could locate a sponsor to cover cost of repair, patches, program resistor and program capacitors. You might also check with Doug Coward: http://www.best.com/~dcoward/analog He may have some information specific to Donner Systems machines. Like I said, I'd love to play with it.

Portable II

by jkruppa＠geofocus.com

Hello, I just acquired one of these units and I also would like it to drive a device programmer except this one has its own power supply. I need a low speed unit and they are getting to be difficult ot come by. I would like to add a 3.5" floppy to this unit and learned in my search that I need the ROM N.3 Bios. Do you have any idea were I can get these chips or the file necessary to create them? Thank you, Jurgen

Like the subject says, I'm looking for some more memory...I've got 16 megs now with two pieces of memory installed, but I want to bring it up to all 32 megabytes. Would anyone on the list be willing to sell or trade? I've got some VAX 6000 boards and other equipment... Cheers, Chris

Osborne 1 schematics, etc.

by dfnr2＠yahoo.com

Hello, I just acquired a non-working osborne 1 (in excellent cosmetic condition, though). I've cleaned it up a bit, and verified that the power supply is good. Are there any online technical docs I can use to bring this machine back up? Any recommendations? Also, could anyone point me to a set of disk images and any Osborne 1 related utilities, info, etc? Thanks, David.

Afterdark "Star Trek: The Screen Saver" works in Windows 2000!

by dwallace＠m-net.arbornet.org

A blast from the past... this is an old (1992) Windows 3.1 screen saver. In cleaning out and cataloging old books and SW in our basement I tracked down the installation disks and serial number for this screen saver. The last time I had installed it was on a 33 mhz 486 with 8 mb of RAM, and the screen saver would make the system noticeably slower in restarting and would make debugging in Borland's IDE slightly unstable. And I only heard the sound through a tinny PC internal speaker. So... on a lark I installed it on Windows 2000 SP 2. The installation apparently failed and aborted at the update of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, according to the log: [23] Using Straight copy of file: 'c:\autoexec.bat', to: 'c:\autoexec.adk' However... the next time I rebooted, "After Dark" was running in the system tray at startup. I put it in demo mode... no sound... cured by setting the sound system to "Windows 3.1 Multimedia" from "PC Speaker". And yes, it still wakes up at the programmed time you set. My favorite scene is Spock ... "PAIN!" (the horta).... strumming a Vulcan lyrette, singing "bitter dregs"... getting a blast of mind altering pollen from that plant, followed by "Spocks' Love Theme"... Spock with a beard... phasering holes in the screen display... Spock himself looking kind of wrinkled... honorable mention to the flying brain cells, and the sick bay display. As a software developer, I'm really impressed by the backward compatibility of Windows. A 32 bit OS playing a 1992 program with sound.
